Hi Everyone,
I have been living in Malaysia since 2016, after completing my graduation from a Malaysian university I started working for a company. After working with them for 2 years and 9 months I decided to join another company for better opportunity. Once I got a job and informed my employer they said they will not issue me a NOC and I can leave the country and come back as they will cancel my visa (CAT-II valid until 2023 March 15). So I exit Malaysia on 15th Nov 2022 and immediately sent my passport copy with exit stamp to my employer to cancel my visa. They uploaded to MDEC portal and informed me that the VISA has been cancelled. So my new company applied for my new application to MDEC. And this is the response they received from MDEC. ....
Please note that the application has been returned due to following reasons:-
1. Since current pass (under XYZ) is still valid, please request applicant to cancel current pass before we could proceed further. Otherwise please resubmit the application once current pass has expired (15 March 2023)
2. Please upload copy of release letter from former company for issuance of acknowledgment letter. The acknowledgement letter is required for the former company to physical cancellation.
3. Please upload copy of tax clearance letter and update the income tax SG number in the system
So now when I contacted my former employee they said I need to go back to Malaysia to get a physical cancellation and then come to my home country and then ask my new employer to apply again but they will still not issue a NOC.
... Can anyone please help me or guide me in my current situation that what am I supposed to do. Is there anyone I can reach out in Malaysia immigration office for help. If I have to come back to Malaysia is there anyhow I can arrange a way that I can stay in Malaysia while my visa being cancelled and issued by my new employer.
Visa Category II
Working in IT sector.
I believe my old employer submitted CP21 for Tax Clearance.
Thanks 🙏!
